    K145 purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Am J Cancer Res. 2019 Mar 1;9(3):546-561.  [Abstract]

    Western immunoblotting analysis of NOXA protein levels in RBE and HCCC9810 cells treated with different concentrations of K145 for 24 h. Data shown represents 2 independent experiments.

    K145 purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2017 Nov 4;493(1):286-290.  [Abstract]

    Inhibition of pAkt by API-2 effectively prevents K145 induced increasing phosphorylation of FoxO1 in response to insulin. API-2 also significantly reverses K145 suppressed PEPCK and G6Pase mRNA and protein expression.

    Description

    K145 is a selective, substrate-competitive and orally active SphK2 inhibitor with an IC50 of 4.3 µM and a Ki of 6.4 µM. K145 is inactive against SphK1 and other protein kinases. K145 induces cell apoptosis and has potently antitumor activity[1].

    IC50 & Target

    IC50: 4.3 µM (SphK2)[1]
    Ki: 6.4 µM (SphK2)[1]

    In Vitro

    K145 (0-10 µM; 24-72 hours; U937 cells) treatment significantly inhibits the growth of U937 cells in a concentration-dependent manner[1].
    K145 (10 µM; 24 hours; U937 cells) treatment significantly induces apoptosis in U937 cells[1].
    K145 (4-8 µM; 3 hours; U937 cells) treatment decreases the phosphorylation of ERK and Akt[1].
    Treatment with K145 (10 µM) causes a decrease of total cellular S1P without significant effects on ceramide levels[1].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
